Life
Vering was born in Münster and grew up in Vechta. He performed spirituals, gospels and songs by Duke Ellington in jazz clubs, in youth centres and at Kirchentag conventions. In 1983, he took part in a project about Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" ("Ich habe einen Traum") by writer Christian A. Schwarz and composer Siegfried Fietz. He often performed with the pianist Johannes Nitsch and the guitarist Werner Hucks.
Vering appeared as a singer for 18 years, performing more than 2500 concerts in Europe. In 1989, he began to work as a journalist for the Westfälische Rundschau in Siegen. He turned to a position as dramaturge at the new Apollo-Theater in 2007, retiring 10 years later.
Vering died in a nursing home in Wilnsdorf on the night of 1 January 2021.
